ABBA Feud? Frida Nudges Agnetha DURING LIVE TV SHOW

SHARE:

I'm not privy to all the backstory between the members of ABBA during their heydey, but I do wonder what would compel Frida (with the red-ish hair) to elbow Agnetha (with the blond hair), who apparently gets a bit too close to Frida's husband in this live performance.

The person who posted the following video, which features the group singing "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" from their self-titled album (as well as More ABBA Gold), wildly speculates about this feud, with amusing subtitles. Watch:

Folks in the comments section below insist there was no rivalry between the two of them and the elbowing was a bit of intentionally playful fun. In fact, according to MTV, the two women have publicly denied that there has ever been any significant conflict in their relationship.

And for the record, my favorite ABBA album is the lush, theatrical The Visitors, which features some of the foursome's best tracks, including the beautifully sad ballad about a mother watching her child grow up, "Slipping Through My Fingers." Take a look and listen to this live performance in Sweden in 1981. Watch:
